Cover Story: We present a graphene–quantum dot (QD) hybrid biosensor that achieves femtomolar sensitivity through a charge transfer-based quenching and recovery mechanism. Using single-layer graphene field-effect transistors (SLG-FETs) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), we demonstrate that photoluminescence quenching in QD–graphene hybrids results from static charge transfer rather than energy transfer. A simple analytical quantum mechanical model supports this interpretation. Electrical and optical signals show correlated responses to analyte concentration, enabling dual-mode detection. We validated the platform for biotin–streptavidin and IgG–anti-IgG interactions, achieving limits of detection down to 0.1 fM. These results establish a robust framework for next-generation, high-specificity biosensors. View this paper
